Please could someone enlighten me from which series model the rear bench seat comes from which have a Plywood base and is not just the cushion siting on on the frame. I need to fit one to match the only one fitted. My land rover series 2 is not standard and has no seat frame, but is fitted with...

Ok, so I rebuilt the front end of my late 84 series 3, I packed the 2 (same sized) hub bearings with grease and put some liquid One Shot in for good measure. Took the old tub out on a off road course 6 month later that had a wading section. A year on brakes are sounding a bit odd and I find...

So here is the problem, A late 1984 series 3 SWB, I can remove the rear brake drums by about 1 cm and then they catch solidly although spring back slightly, they both spin although one was binding badly and the MOT had them down to 10% efficiency. I suspect the problem is they have worn a grove...

I just snapped up an old stock steering relay which now has a pull of 19lb instead of 8lb so, on it will go (yes the crappy steering saga still continues). The question is why is the lover retainer wider 67.5mm than the body at 65.5mm. Surly the Flange plate to hold it steady will be an improper...

I took my land rover (S2) in for a pre MOT having replaced the front swivels etc. and all the tie rods and ends, so all is pretty much back to new. I still have wandering steering on some road surfaces but I noticed that the front axel moved slightly from side to side ( about 1") when the...

I replaced all of the steering parts, swivels seals bearings and track rod ends/track rods with decent branded parts ( the swivels were used ex army and in good condition along with stub axels). So before all this I had a little wandering but it got better the faster you went. Now however the...

Can anyone who positively knows please tell me which way round this seal should go. I have now seen too versions so much confusion. The Defenders use this seal and show it fitting with the protruding part facing outwards. This is how some people fit it on the later series 3's but I have also...

I went to fit a new steering box to relay rod with new ball joints. The problem is that I can't fully remove the ball joint as it is so close the steering box support. So do I have to remove the dreaded steering drop arm to gain the 5 mm I need? As this is a serviceable part it seem crazy to...

I just getting round to a front end rebuild on my late series 3. So to save time I bought some swivel hubs that came with old bolts. So proudly wielding my shiny new Halfords pro sockets (AF) the swivel pin bolts seemed somewhat loose in them, in fact all the bolts were loose. So switching to an...

I would be really grateful if someone would kindly let me know the dimensions of the late series 3 stub axle "land" where the twin lip rubber seal sits. Replacements are now now running north of £400 pounds if they are in stock. So a SPEEDI-SLEEVE looks like a good alternative, this problem is...

On replacing the outrigger on the driver's side It was about 15-20mm to tall so had to put a weld line in to attach it to the chassis. Next job is tackle the other side which looked OK so that meant it was rusty rubbish. My question is, why is the outrigger which is a standard series Britpart...

Ok I have replaced track rod ends on my old 74 sports car, an easy job. So I ordered some for the Landy (series 3) the actual pin and castle nut does not line up vertically but is off set about 20 degrees to one side on both of them. You still get a forward and reveres action but not side to...

Hi, a quick introduction as a new member. A late, mid life crisis and a need to tow a trials bike bought me back to owing another Land Rover after 30 years . Also emissions and congestions zone free next year makes it an ideal London city cruiser. Especially as the ULEZ is coming within 3 miles...

Hi, I have found that my FWH's don't appear to make any difference, so for the moment it is permanently stuck in 2WD. So 2 choices, strip and find the problem or convert them back to standard. However tinker time is very limited at the moment, but I worry that the swivel pins etc, which have...
